Neos Kosmos has today printed my article telling the story of the Australian soldiers and nurses who came to Thessaloniki in the First World War as part of the Salonika campaign, 1915-18. Read about Australia's Ned Herring and Miles Franklin as they came to Thessaloniki and Macedonia to defend Greece and Serbia in the First World War.
Buy yourself a copy of today's Neos Kosmos.
Thanks to Neos Kosmos again for supporting awareness of Greece's Anzac trail.Jim ClavenSecretaryLemnos Gallipoli Commemorative Committee
